Arburg to demonstrate overmoulding with EPDM

Arburg

Arburg will present a compact production cell producing removal suction cups with a brass bush.

At the International Rubber Conference 2015, Arburg will demonstrate the processing of elastomers on a vertical Allrounder 275 V. During the production of a removal suction cup, a brass insert will be overmoulded with EPDM.

Part handling will be performed by an Agilus six-axis robot, before the finished moulded parts are forwarded to a camera inspection and are then set down on a conveyor belt.

Arburg says the application presented at the IRC 2015 emphasises its competence in the processing of special materials and in project systems. The Allrounder 275 V on display will have elastomer equipment, a clamping force of 250 kN and a size 70 injection unit for the production of the overmoulded part in a cycle time of around 60 seconds.

Arburg’s Allrounder series of machines can be supplied with a special equipment package for elastomer processing, which includes a precision-adapted cylinder module and open nozzles as standard.
